The mulberry life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 28

Blacksmith Zhao has a good craft, and his family is relatively well-off, raising Shi Shi as fat as a pig.

But at that time, there was no such thing as slimming. On the contrary, if a man could raise his wife to be fatter than before marriage, it meant that the man was capable and his family was rich, and outsiders would give him a thumbs up when he saw it.

Every time Shi goes to the market, he always cuts a few catties of meat to satisfy his greed. Zhao Tie is a tall man, and he does hard work. He turns a blind eye to Shi's behavior of buying meat, as long as the wife makes meat for him. Just eat.

That day Shi Shi was bored and went to the left and right alleys again, and learned that Zhang De's family had wild pork for sale, so she hurried home to get a bunch of money and followed the flow of people.

The daughter-in-law in front was chattering and chatting, all she said was that Zhang De was so good, he bought a field as soon as the new house was repaired, and then married a beautiful girl, and now he can kill three wild boars. So delicious.

Shi's heart is narrow, and she can't tolerate other people's kindness. Although others are not as good as her, she just can't bear the sight of a humble person who suddenly gets up.According to her thinking, it's time to step on this sign severely.

She raised her chin, let out a heavy "hum", and quickly passed the woman in front of her, and said to herself as she walked: "Isn't it because he married a rich man's daughter, what prestige is there! A man who relies on women for his food There are still people who care about it, I'll bah!"

Hearing her contempt, everyone couldn't say anything more, but they didn't know how the discussion would be behind the scenes.

Shi came to the small courtyard of Zhang's family proudly, looking at the sparse fence, the simple thatched hut felt relieved.In Zhangjia Village, the men in my family are the most powerful. Even if my family has a foreign surname, people in the entire Zhangjia Village dare not show off in front of me. This kind of virtue is nothing.

She pushed away the crowded crowd in front of her and shouted, "Let's go, let's go. Those who don't have money to buy meat should stand aside and don't block those who want to buy."

Everyone looked at Shi Shi when they heard such shameless words.Shi Shi stared left and right, "What are you looking at, am I wrong? Why stop here if you don't buy it! Go home and cook vegetables to be serious!"

Seeing that the scene was out of control, Zhang De hurriedly said, "Everyone is from the village. It is pure luck to get the wild boar this time, and it is not expensive. I just let everyone eat meat when the wheat is harvested, and it costs 16 cents per catty. Huzi Mom, how many catties do you have?"

"Hey! If that's the case, why don't you give it away to everyone, and ask everyone to buy it. Just give me ten catties, not too much." Shi maliciously misinterpreted Zhang De's meaning.

Zhang De was blocked by Shi's words, he couldn't breathe and swallowed uncomfortable.

Qin Chengyi took a step forward and said to the folks and elders: "This wild boar is not domesticated, we are lucky to say goodbye, but it took us five or six days to put the wild boar to death after several dangers, so it is a bit embarrassing to send it away." , but this price can be cheaper by 15 penny, all uncles and aunts can give [-] pennies."

Everyone had no intention of asking for it in vain, but now I am pleasantly surprised to hear that it is cheaper.The women around Shi immediately pushed away her who wanted to refute her, and rushed to the desk to buy meat.Although the price of meat is 15 renminbi, the part of the meat is very important. At this time, no one is willing to listen to Shi's nonsense.

Shi Shi was pushed outside by the crazy crowd, her hair was scattered, the silver hairpin was stepped on and deformed, and the makeup and blush on her face were also messed up, like a crazy woman.

It's just that she doesn't care about dressing herself up. You must know that the fat meat sold in the market costs 20 renminbi, and the lean meat costs 18 renminbi. How can I miss the 15 renminbi a catty of fat meat now? Slammed into it.

A wild boar weighed more than 100 catties, and it was sold out in less than one noon. They got a total of two taels of silver, and Qin Chengyi shared the one tael of silver equally, and they both laughed.

Zhang De put the one thousand copper coins he got in front of Zhong Caixin to claim credit, like a child wanting to be praised by his parents.

Zhong Caixin deliberately said loudly: "Wow, I have never counted so much money in my life! Tonight, I feel like I'm knocking people when I sleep in my arms." In the past, all the money was collected in broken silver, and it is true that I never collected thousands of copper coins at one time.

Zhang De patted his head in embarrassment, "Caixin, I spent all my money when I got married, and now I only have so much." Take it out, it is reserved for the two children as dowry.

Unaware of Zhang De's entanglement, Zhong Caixin strung up the copper coins one by one. In the past, she didn't think much of a tael of silver, but now she feels that the silver is so heavy.No wonder my mother often said that a man who is willing to give all the family money to his wife is a good husband-in-law, even if it is only a few pennies.Now she finally got a taste of it.

Zhao Xiaohu's friends all went to Zhang De's house to watch the fun, but Zhao Xiaohu lay bored in the grass and chewed sour grass. He thought that it had been half a year since we met last time, and he wondered if Nuan Bao would change his mind.Probably when the villagers forget about the fight, then Nuan Bao will pay attention to him. He remembered that she said that he was welcome to play at her house, so the previous refusal was because he was afraid of implicating Xiaofu?
Nuanbao is so kind and gentle, she will not reject her cruelly, it was just a last resort, right?
Zhao Xiaohu thought about it randomly, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Nuan Bao must have a reason for rejecting him.Then I have been sad and resentful for so long, is it a waste of effort?
At this time, Mu Mu ran from the direction of Zhang De's house, panting and shouting: "Huzi, your mother is messing around at Uncle De's house, go and have a look!"

Zhao Xiaohu stood up and grabbed the wood that supported his knees with both hands, "What did you just say?"

"Hoo hoo... Your mother asked Uncle De to give her pork. Later, it was said that Uncle He's nephew settled the matter. I haven't seen that nephew, but he looks pretty good. When do you think we will have a fight with him? "Wood saw Qin Chengyi stand up just now, and his heroic appearance made him fight!

When Zhao Xiaohu heard that his old lady was going to Nuan Bao's house to make trouble, he became anxious and ran away.

"Hey, wait for me!" Mu Mu shook his head and shouted from behind.

Zhao Xiaohu couldn't tolerate the rude behavior of his old lady in front of his sweetheart, and finally arrived at Nuanbao's house after walking through half of the village.

The woman who bought the pork happily took the pork and left, and Mrs. Shi also disappeared, leaving only the butcher processing the pig blood.

Zhao Xiaohu entered the courtyard and heard a familiar voice when he walked to the kitchen. "Brother Cheng Yi, you should wash your hands first, just leave the pig's head and let me take it easy."

"It's dirty, you go out first, and I'll pluck the hair off the pig's head first." The strange boy stopped Zhao Xiaohu's footsteps.

"Brother Cheng Yi doesn't want to see me? Nuan Bao can't figure out what he did on the mountain that day to annoy you?"

The male voice paused for a while, "My life is bad, don't come near me."

"I don't believe it." There was a faint tugging voice inside, and Zhao Xiaohu rushed in in a flash, pointing at the two people who were entangled, "What are you two doing?"

Nuan Bao was taken aback by Zhao Xiaohu's sudden arrival, and immediately let go of Qin Chengyi's clothes.

Zhao Xiaohu looked at Nuan Bao's flinching hands, and said bitterly, "So it's because of him that you rejected me?"

Nuan Bao lowered her head, how should I say this, the answer is right, but how can I say it out.

Zhao Xiaohu clenched his lower lip, looked at Nuan Bao, and then at Qin Chengyi who was expressionless, "You will never end well."
